The tab for the intro should be very close to what he plays and it can also be played for the verses.
Let the bass notes ring and note that the first measure of each line is repeated. The F# in parentheses is
a walking note.
For all of the Dadd11 to D and A to D/A to A chord changes, use hammer-ons and pull-offs.
